Ian Wienand 79d4113cbe pip-and-virtualenv : install python2 & 3, and default to 2
Recent changes in project-config have shown that we leave the system
in an inconsistent state when installing from source.  On fedora, we
will have installed the python2 packages, but then used $DIB_PYTHON to
install python3 pip from source!

This tries to clarify the situation.  As described in the document,
with package installs, we just install the $DIB_PYTHON packaged
versions.

Source installs want to take over the global namespace.  This is the
price you pay for running the latest versions outside package managers
:) The only sane thing seems to be for us to normalise python2 &
python3 versions of pip, setuptools and virtualenv and then hacking
things such that "/usr/bin/pip" and "/usr/bin/virtalenv" remain
defaulted to python2 versions.

Documentation is added

Image building tools for OpenStack

diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for use with OpenStack.

This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.

For example:

$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu

will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2 image.

diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the components of TripleO that are responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool. Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
